We are looking for a Head Fashion Designer & Merchandiser to lead our design direction, streamline merchandise planning, and drive trend-forward collections that align with our brand ethos and commercial goals.

- Work closely with marketing to align collections with campaigns and collaborations.
- Collaborate with sales & retail partners for feedback-driven product development.
- Represent Clout Jeans at trade shows, fashion weeks, and collaborations.

- 4–8 years of proven experience in denim/fashion design & merchandising (experience in a scaling commercial brand is a plus).
- Strong eye for denim trends, silhouettes, washes, and youth-driven culture.
- Understanding of business-side merchandising, costing, and retail strategy.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Passion for creating designs that balance trend, commerciality, and brand DNA.

What We Offer

- A chance to shape the future of one of India's fastest-growing denim brands.
